Jeff Daniels looks like Jim Henson and Gandolfini looks like Rob Reiner, or, if you're so inclined, Anthony Spinelli.

I thought it was pretty funny, not as good as the karate instructor one, But this gay flamboyant character sort of reminded me of rob reiner and made loler.

That was almost worth it to see Jim break character. Almost.

The problem with celebrities speaking out is that they often use their considerable fame, that was acquired outside of the political world, to spread their message to a much larger audience than any regular person could ever hope to reach. I think Rob Reiner is a good example of someone abusing their celebrity status and power and money. But I think the position Matt Damon is taking in this video stands on its own whether or not you know who he is.


I'm going to disagree with you there. By stating that, you've shifted the focus of responsibility onto the celebrity, rather than onto the listener/receiver. One could even derive that you are insulting those who are not celebrities by insinuating that people cannot think for themselves. EVERY celebrity (see: person) has the right to state their opinion; just like you do. It is the receiver who interprets the message and moves forward, either accepting or rejecting it. Like I just did with your comment.

If I followed your logic, then you shouldn't be allowed to put forth your opinion.

Difference between a plumber, taxi driver, waitress is that, when they voice their opinions, it's not published in the national news.


See above. Again, you've shifted the responsibility back onto the celebrity. Why should it matter if the media does spread their message? If people can't think for themselves, then you need to direct your anger toward them, not the celebrity.

the rob reiner line, totally.

GREAT movie! One of my fav's of all time, right up there with Annie Hall. I tried to save the previously discarded one, but it couldn't be done. Oh, and the woman at the end who says, "I'll have what she's having," is Rob Reiner's mom, I believe.

The only romantic comedy I've ever (and will ever) see more than once. It's so good, so perfect, it pretty much buried the genre.
That Rob Reiner selected his *mother* to give the "I'll have what she's having" line is proof they were on to something hysterical.
